For anyone considering coming for the Common Teal, Arch Street is one-way only,south to north between Wesskum Wood Road and Sound Beach Avenue. Best approachis to go south on Sound Beach Ave., then turn right onto Wesskum Wood Road. At the4-way intersection by the tennis courts, turn right onto Arch Street, parking on right sideof road. This is only a few yards from the open (unfrozen) water where the teal was seen.

Seen again at 5:30 w/ Cynthia Ehlinger. Parking allowed only on Arch Street which runs along the backside of the park. Teal was near stone bridge where a small group of Mallards hang out. Views are to "die for" as the teal was only about 10-12 feet from shore, apparently and amazingly oblivious to presence of passersby and dogwalkers. _______________________________________________ This list is provided by the Connecticut Ornithological Association (COA) for the discussion of birds and birding in Connecticut.
